Lyon play down talk of Gourcuff Arsenal move

Newcastle United have also been linked with Gourcuff but Lyonâ€™s club president, Jean-Michel Aulas, looked to dampen suggestions the club want to offload the 26-year-old this month to lower their wage bill.

â€śHeâ€™ll almost certainly stay until June,â€ť Aulas was quoted as saying in France today. â€śAfter that, weâ€™ll talk about his value. But heâ€™s been injured, so itâ€™s not yet the time to talk about a transfer.â€ť
